55 mph minus 40 mph = 15 miles distance for each hour
So 5 hours * 15 = 75 miles difference after 5 hours
The second automobile traveled 75 miles further along the route is at the end of five hours.
Given that,
Two automobiles start together at the same place and travel along the same route.
The first averages 40 miles per hour, the second 55 miles per hour.
We have to determine,
How many miles further along the route is the second auto at the end of five hours?
According to the question,
The distance miles further along the route is the second auto at the end of five hours is determined by using the following formula.
[tex]\rm Distance = Speed \times Time[/tex]
The first averages 40 miles per hour.
After 5 hours, the distance traveled by the first automobile is
40 × 5 = 200 miles
The second automobile averages 55 miles per hour.
After 5 hours, the distance traveled by the second automobile is
55 × 5 = 275 miles
Therefore,
The difference in the distance traveled by both automobiles after 5 hours is
275 - 200 = 75 miles
Hence, The second automobile traveled 75 miles further along the route is at the end of five hours.
